    Here's a pic with the LED fog installed. They are quite bright when you look at them but they do not project that far. No biggie for me since I was looking to get them to match the color temp of my LED.

    I'm happy with the results but the install was a PITA. It took me awhile to get the second bulb to corrected inserted into the housing.

    Those are really nice..not to yellow. What kind did you use? Did you do the side markers too?

    I'll have to compare but I may like the look of these over the LED's because they seem to fill in the area very nicely...while the led's may be too much of a beacon standing out.

    Installed xenon supply 4300k HID w/ relay harness plus the sylvania amber parking lights on the driver side, it looks a little blue in the picture but in reality its pretty white with a tiny tiny hint of blue (from lens). It's hard to get the white balance right, now thinking about it I don't think I even adjusted white balance for the florescent light in the background. Not sure if that matters. The first picture captures more of what it really looks like in real life.

    Looks really good. I think I'm going copy your amber lights instead of struggling to find LEDs to match the headlights.

    Got a Scan Gauge II. Pretty excited about it. Now time to figure out all the things I can do besides the included gauges. 20121113_163825.jpg

    The SGII provides so much useful info that you won't know just how useful it is until years down the road when you are troubleshooting some odd behavior. ;)

    I also got a scangauge today...still trying to decide where I like it mounted the best. I would like it up by the other gauges but it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to hide the cable up there.

    Just put it on the steering column. It is visible yet out of the way and the cable tucks neatly out of view.
